Re: new best et at atco tonite.
I was game but my navigation system (Mrs myclone) wasnt up for anything more than a 20something hr road trip and wanted to get home. Maybe next time...
Oh yeah, aside from the fact you look like Big E in the below pic whats that hanging down under the front bumper cover in the center? Tie down points for the trailer or is that your version of the "teeth" I see on semi trucks these days ?

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Actually Ed has driven the truck on the street, But of course passing a State Trooper with pipes coming off the fenders or the full cage with a window net wouldn't look that good in a police officers sights as a legal registered vehicle.or for that matter a parachute on the tailgate. ( have to look in the new DMV book and see if that is a requirement) SAFE but not LEGAL.
The hooks on the front are his winch hook attachment and the hooks for the tiedowns.
That burn out like Ed said " 1st make power, then drop the hammer, then hold on for the ride"
Hope that has answered some of your questions.

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
I would hope with all Ed's smack talk and Robert's confidence we should see a heads up grudge race for a decent amount of cash!
winner take on the Hoovers for double or nothing !

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Ed, much respect from this syty nobody. I'm embarassed that I clowned you back in the day. I can't believe your truck now! Just goes to show what happens when you make a judgement bout someone you don't know. You obviously are way more serious about your truck than I thought. When's the visor goin back on? J/P

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Hahaha whell I (when I´m helping him out on a race) usualy make Robert "clean" his tires before stage.. He´s tires seems to stick well to the ground without those smoky burnouts. BUT they are impressive your smoky burns ,yes they are
PM me about HOW you do them.. ;D
About the power level,
Just say Robert have alot of it, and still has´nt turn the boost to its limmits hehehe
156 miles/h trappspeed is power, and with the lousy 60´times its moore power than expected at the topp.. Roberts Sy FLYES the last 1/8 mile
Heres a pic from chimay http://www.x-treme.fi/gallery/view_photo.ph?set_albumName=album83&id=warningX_tremeCOPYRITE_419
The BigBlock Jagg using 300Hp noz is as you can see on his way (to a 10,4x et) Robert is a lithle late here and blow the doors of this jagg 4 secons later with an 9,7x et
ed hess said:yep its the converter then.
how do you do a burnout...
well 1st thing you gotta do is figure out how to make a lot of power.
tell ya what, once you guys figure out how to do that get back to me.
Hahaha

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Man that is the most impressive burnout i have ever seen.
Id say with the hoovers, roberts Sy, we need to get Ed to the nats and then if RPMS Ghettosled with its 1200 HP V6 would come out, that would be some of the fastest heads up racing weve seen at nats ever.
I would have to make the show come hell or high water if that happend.
Hey ed, you need to post some video of your burnouts and the truck running down the track, i for one would love to see that.

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Perhaps they also show up at the nat´s then? The "others" I ment
Surprices is realy fun but IF somebody have the worlds fastest Sy/Ty allready run the 8´ et and just keep it to themself, whats the point with that then?
Still saying that without Hoovers, Robert, Hess, Gettosled, (I´ve surely forgot some names) BUT without these guys and their effort to be fast and GO fast, shearing ideas and trix "the Others" have had nothing to work on..

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Mike is about as inside as someone can get. He has much more seat time in a Sy or Ty than you. Seeing as though your truck spends most of its time broke I can see why you would favor a "street" truck.
Eds truck may run the quarter most of the time, but at least it runs.

Re: new best et at atco tonite.
Did I bash ed or his truck? Please show me where.
I have given Ed props for his truck many many times, I exchange PM's with Ed on a pretty regular basis as well.
I never once knocked anyone or their truck nor did I ever even make a snide remark about someone or their truck. Yet within the last page of this thread there has been comments made about my truck, one being from someone who doesnt own a truck.
You want to bash me or whatever go right ahead, but please make a new post to do
This thread was about Ed's truck, I made a comment about the truck, out of left field someone attempted to take a shot at my truck, hmmm can anyone explain to me again why nationals has never seen a single digit pass? Could it have to do with ignorant people talking shit when not needed?
I am sure I will get some heat for this as usual and it will end up locked as usual but look at the source, I did not start this, merely responded when someone made a comment about me.
